Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at BMO Field. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bob Bradley will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 3-1-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Toronto FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 32' Controversy at the stadium! Sebastian Berhalter argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 37' Kobe Franklin has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 42' The 30-year-old Tristan Blackmon has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 47' Supporters expect more eagerness from Levonte Johnson, as he is very good at scoring at BMO Field with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 50' Goal! Deandre Kerr scores his 15 goal in 300 matches.
  • 55' Vancouver Whitecaps FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 56' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Tristan Blackmon makes it 1-1.
  • 58' A change in the Vancouver Whitecaps FC ranks — Sebastian Berhalter exits the field as Pedro Vite enters on 58.
  • 60' Pedro Vite has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 60.
  • 65' Spain international Alonso Coello Camarero has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 3 assists in the Array this season.
  • 66' Brian White puts Vancouver Whitecaps FC on the lead.
  • 68' Latif Blessing is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kobe Franklin at the 68 minute mark.
  • 69' Toronto FC ring the changes. Franco Ibarra has done his job and it is now time for Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty to step up.
  • 74' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Toronto FC that had 300 games and scored 397 goals.
  • 76' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Raoul Petretta on 76 minutes.
  • 80' A tactical swap from Toronto FC — C.J. Sapong on, Deandre Kerr off on 80 minutes.
  • 85' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 87' Controversy at the stadium! Javain Brown argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Alessandro Schopf as he leaves the pitch. Russell Teibert steps in for Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 1-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
